MDL® Discovery Framework MDL® Discovery Experiment Management MDL® Discovery Predictive Science MDL® Discovery Knowledge	MDL® Integrated Major Reference Works The MDL Integrated Major Reference Works product family from MDL and InfoChem GmbH provides one-click, two-way linking between MDL's synthetic methodology databases and specific chemical reference works containing authoritative sources on the scope and limitations of synthetic methods. When paired with MDL's LitLink Servers, the system also provides one-click access to primary literature references in synthetic methodology databases and in the major reference works. The Integrated Major Reference Works solution affords the same high-quality content as the printed sources, but with the benefit of an electronic format and user-friendly navigation tools that make it easy to search multiple references from a single interface using full text, reaction-type, and structure-based queries. The following major reference works are licensed for resale by MDL as part of the Integrated Major Reference Works product offering: Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis: Catalytic methods for asymmetric organic synthesis. Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations: The preparation and transformations of functional groups in organic chemistry. Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: The use, preparation, and handling of reagents in organic chemistry, including the reactions they effect. The Integrated Major Reference Works family of content products will add other major reference works as they become available in electronic format. Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis Overview Published by Springer-Verlag, Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis is an essential three-volume reference set that critically reviews catalytic methods for asymmetric organic synthesis, providing the definitive, complete presentation of the state of the art in the dynamic field of synthetic chemistry. Focus Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis presents relevant, timely coverage of the basic principles, mechanisms, and basis for stereoinduction; the scope and limitations of these reactions; and strategies and perspectives for future development in this area of chemistry. The volumes address catalyst availability, preparation, handling, efficiency, loading, recovery, toxicity, as well as special conditions and equipment, and scale and safety issues. All queries allow complete structure, substructure, reaction substructure, reaction-type, and reaction-related field searching. Editors Eric.N. Jacobsen, Harvard University Andreas Pfaltz, University of Basel Hisashi Yamamoto, Nagoya University Benefits of Accessing Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis through Integrated Major Reference Works Delivers the same high-quality information as the hard copy (published in 1999) and the standalone electronic version Provides some 6,000 evaluated reactions Includes balanced, authoritative contributions from over 60 experts in the field Utilizes full benefits of Web technology by permitting searches straight from the desktop Provides simple, effective, one-click linking to MDL's synthetic methodology databases containing illustrative examples Permits full text searches and searches by structure, substructure, reagent, experimental conditions, etc., just like the standalone version. In addition, Integrated Major Reference Works permits searching by reaction type. Can be integrated with other Integrated Major Reference Works content, including primary literature references (via LitLink Server), permitting single search against all major reference works Periodic updates will keep Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis the standard reference in asymmetric catalytic synthesis for years to come Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations Overview Published by Elsevier Science, Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations is a seven-volume reference series that highlights the preparation and transformations of the functional groups that form the basis of all chemical and biological activity. Focus Covering the subject of organic synthesis in terms of functional group transformations, Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations complements Elsevier's established reference work series by employing a rigorous, logical, and formal treatment of the structural basis of reactions. The result is a detailed analysis of all known (and, in some cases, unknown) functional groups and the methods of their construction, introduction, and interconversion. All queries allow complete structure, substructure, reaction substructure, reaction-type, and reaction-related field searching. Editors-In-Chief Alan R. Katritzky, FRS, University of Florida Otto Meth-Cohn, University of Sunderland Charles W. Rees, CBE, FRS, Imperial College Volume Editors Stanley M. Roberts Steven V. Ley, FRS Gerald Pattenden, FRS Gordon W. Kirby Christopher J. Moody Thomas L. Gilchrist Benefits of Accessing Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations through Integrated Major Reference Works Delivers same high-quality information as hard copy (published 1995) Provides some 40,000 structures and 43,000 references across 144 chapters and 7,800 pages Includes balanced, authoritative contributions from over 180 experts in the field Utilizes full benefits of Web technology by permitting searches straight from the desktop Provides simple, effective, one-click linking to MDL's synthetic methodology databases containing illustrative examples Allows searches by structure, substructure, reagent, reaction type, etc., as well as full text searches Can be integrated with other Integrated Major Reference Works content, including primary literature references (via LitLink Server), permitting single search against all major reference works Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis Overview Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis is an eight-volume reference work that provides systematic and exhaustive coverage of the use, preparation, and handling of reagents in organic chemistry, including the reactions they effect. Focus Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis is intended to help synthetic chemists find the most suitable reagents for performing particular reactions. Articles typically include exemplary transformations recognized for the reagent (with illustrations); comparison of its specific properties with those of other agents capable of equivalent chemistry (with illustrations); stereo-, regio-, and enantio-control qualifications of the reagent in relevant examples (with illustrations); and all applicable cautions associated with use of the reagent. All queries allow complete structure, substructure, reaction substructure, reaction-type, and reaction-related field searching. Editor-In-Chief Leo A.
